Andreas handed number 8 shirt early, begins Palmeiras journey | OneFootball

The number 8 jersey of Palmeiras has a new owner and will be worn by Andreas Pereira. Vacant for a short time since the departure of Richard Ríos, the announcement made by the player’s official profile revealed what usually only happens during the official presentation.

The decision to reveal the number, even if it was expected, is the right one. Following the confirmation, the club’s official stores began printing the jerseys with his name and the number 8 on the back. The post did not please the club, as reported by NOSSO PALESTRA.

Andreas Pereira arrives as an important reinforcement and with the potential to lead the current squad’s overhaul. His journey at Palmeiras begins now, and reinforcing the number gives Palmeiras fans the chance to swap the 21 for the 8, as it should be.

Andreas will arrive in Brazil next week. After a frustrating and drawn-out negotiation at the start of the year, his meeting with the fans is near.
